About The Wink Collection Sedia
La Wink Collection è una linea di sedute che comprende sedie da pranzo, poltroncine lounge e sgabelli da bar. Ogni pezzo presenta uno schienale ellittico convesso, sagomato come un occhio, sostenuto da gambe affusolate in legno massello. Le forme sono realizzate con tecnologia CNC unita alle tradizionali lavorazioni ebanistiche. Elementi metallici pressofusi e anodizzati collegano lo schienale al telaio, conferendo resistenza e mantenendo al tempo stesso la struttura leggera e aperta. Lo schienale è disponibile in legno massello oppure imbottito con supporto in schiuma, con possibilità di legni provenienti da fonti sostenibili. La forma curva dello schienale accompagna lunghi momenti di conversazione da seduti.

- Production Technology
- JMS continues to master wood materials by using CNC technology combined with traditional wood working skills. This melding of machine and man create new eye popping designs with a contemporary twist leading to a signature style. The slender massive wooden legs of Wink and the convex elliptical eye shaped backrest is a result of This play of technology and tradition. The backrest can be upholstered with foam backing to enhance comfort or in massive wood.
Available in oak, birch or walnut woods. - Design Challenge
- To achieve the desired transparency and lightness so that the inherent properties of each material can be enhanced, each element needed to be separately addressed but solved as one entity. Adding a cast metal part in manufacturing process, optimizes production by upholstering the back rest separately while adding strength to its connection to the wooden frame. These designed elements would prevent the heavy appearance of typical massive wooden chairs.
- Inspiration
- A wink, to tantalize. A visual cue to flirt and attract. An elliptical eye shaped wooden back rest upon finely shaped feminine legs. An embodiment of feminine charms: glimmer, elegance, and strength. The anodized metal casting part adds shine and strength to the seat back, legs are thinly tapered to provide lift and lightness. Armrest detailing of an upper and lower parts provide the embrace.
Sustainably sourced Beech or Ash woods are available for the desired warmth and color. - Project Duration
